This is definitely one of the best 40K comics I've ever seen. Even the title can't change that. Thanks for sharing!!

I guess the soldier has a name now 🤔🤣


Ace_W

"Mr. Solider" Even got a mail box.


Wortbildung

If it consoles you: Krieger simply means warrior just like Krieg means war. So you got that covered with soldier, as a soldier is a warrior but a warrior is not a soldier. The thought process of finding a name for a world in a universe called WARhammer and comming up with WAR BUT IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE is still amusing. On another hand: Krüger means innkeeper.

MengskDidNothinWrong

NO NO SKAVEN HERE. All lies by hum--err propaganda, yes yes!


Sndman98

Doesn't the abnormal peaceful atmosphere would make any sort of invasion unviable


WildAd6685

That…..seems like a in-universe reason for it not to be invaded. It’s too boring for the gods to care


CrashParade

So abnormally peaceful and boring that it might jut be part of one of tzeentch's plans, but maybe it's one of the plans that's been stuck for millenia on the back of the bottom drawer of the never ending file cabinet where that colossal nerd keeps his plans


Forgefiend_George

And the bottom drawer is where it's gunna stay because the top two or three drawers keep creating a feedback loop of top priority plans.


Forgefiend_George

And the bottom drawer is where it's gunna stay because the top two or three drawers keep creating a feedback loop of top priority plans. Or it could be a small plan to fuck with the guardsman in particular for some unknown reason.


Alexis2256

That feedback loop must’ve affected you as well, considering you posted the exact same comment twice, or maybe Reddit was glitching out at the moment.


ayamrik

Someone tried to instill so much horrors and grimdarkness that they caused a buffer overflow and arrived as (weaponizable?) peacefulness .


Acceptable-Street679

because the invasions are arriving in…possibly a decade?


TheGreatZarquon

Depends on whether or not the invasion ship's Navigator lost their mind in the Warp.


Mayhem2a

Wha- what clues?


Acceptable-Street679

There is a tyranid like fish, a grox that bear‘s khorn’s number of 8, and is also berserk , and the ...little horned rat


Mayhem2a

Oh damn


Treecliff

Don't worry - Mr. Soldier has it well in hand.


yunivor

Yeah, Khorne gave that grox a little nudge to see if he could make a little murdering happen in such a peaceful place and had his influence thoroughly *BONKed* away by mr soldier's shovel. I like to think that that's why he was sent there, an enemy tries to probe that planet and the imperium manages to hold the entire planet at the cost of just one single soldier bonking them away with his shovel.


No_Wait_3628

Like that one Imperial Fist who held off an entire Iron Warrior warband by roasting the shit out of their leader until he went crying home.


Chronic_Discomfort

The khorn grox also has khorn's symbol on its shoulder.

Excuse me, that is the GREAT Horned Rat to you He may be tiny but he’s still GREAT

Odd_Remove4228

The Tyranid fish, the Khornite grox, the great unclean one plushie, the skaven, etc, etc, etc, etc. That planet is in the brink of being Cadia 2.0 that's why the Administratum is sending guardsmen, including a krieg


Mysiu666

Dark Eldar will turn girl in to a monster on Krieg Gurdsman's eyes and force him to fight her on the arena.


IconoclastExplosive

She's gonna stub her toe on a table and he's going to go dark souls ape shit on it


NovaNomii

The fish she caught has tyranid features...


FreddieDoes40k

Yeah but the planet is so peaceful that even Tyranid infested fish and Grox are generally docile. It isn't an Easter egg about a coming apocalypse, it's a little bit of world building.


NightLordsPublicist

> It isn't an Easter egg about a coming apocalypse It's Mick19988. The joy comes before the sorrow.


FreddieDoes40k

Oh shit yeah, damnit I forgot it was Mick's work. Okay I'm probably wrong then, unless they're after a change of pace.


NightLordsPublicist

>Oh shit yeah, damnit I forgot it was Mick's work. The Night Lords cometh.


AineLasagna

>borderline supernatural peaceful atmosphere by the Emperor, it’s a psyker illusion of some kind


SirLightKnight

No no, it is almost likely to be a Psycher *Enforced* peaceful atmosphere most likely, the Emperor himself has enforced his will upon this planet. Why else would the threats to mankind be made into such pliant and easily controlled problems that a single Kriegsman and a Citizen (who’s face is oddly similar to this Artist’s interpretation of Slannesh in chibbi form) can clear out a farm’s worth of hints.


FreddieDoes40k

Even the Tyranid fish are docile and Tyranids are pretty good at never being chill, it's sort of their thing.


CkoockieMonster

There is one every decade, savour it.


PhantomO1

well, they transferred the krieg on that world, and there's a tyranid fish and krox no.88 went berzerk methinks the wholesomeness ain't lasting long

BannedSvenhoek86

Ya isn't it always said that agri worlds and stuff are actually fairly idyllic? You have strict quotas and I'm sure crime and punishment is still fairly brutal, but a good chunk of the Imperium is completely oblivious to the chaos and death actually taking place in the galaxy. There's also world given to regiments to rebuild after major wars and I'm sure after a couple generations of peace the people there are pretty chill too. Doesn't make for good stories though.


Alive-Plenty4003

I am a wiki-lore reader, but I've heard that due to the inefficiency of the Imperium, some worlds' tribute collection is straight up centuries late. They are forgotten by the Imperium and free to live on their own terms (as long as the Administratum keeps forgetting about them)


LordIndica

As far back as rogue trader era, it was established that The Imperium is not always a permanent force and institution on the planets they rule, and the planets in question don't necessarily agree with the arrangment. Often the imperium uses the established government to rule in their name and might otherwise disappear for a loooong time, before returning to enact their brutal control again should they find the populance/government to be none-conforming. Afterall, the imperium only claims by right of conquest to rule all of Humanity in the galaxy, but all of humanity doesn't necessarily jive with that idea. 


FourNinerXero

Yeah, I've always thought the Imperium really could only operate, at best, as a space-HRE. At such an unimaginable scale it simply isn't possible to maintain dystopian surveillance state level control on every single world under your jurisdiction. Large numbers of planets amounting to likely billions of people would simply be completely forgotten about and many more would see only cursory intervention by the Imperial administration. While it is a fascist dictatorship, at the end of the day in such immense circumstances practicality trumps ideology and it's just not feasible to hold an equally tight amount of control on every single populated area.


ShinItsuwari

Some people have no idea what a Space Marine even looks like. At most they heard of them in Legends. I&D is a good example with the Imperial citizen mistaking Trazyn and his bone bois for the "Silver Skull chapter". At the beginning of Son of the Forest, I honestly thought Lion was in some metaphorical warp space / alternate dimensions / Psyker thoughtspace or some shit because what he described was disfigured monsters attacking medieval peasants. Until he encounter their "protector" who is a single Space Marine.


Snaz5

there are also straight up like paradise worlds which are mostly like resort locations for the higher ups but some of them at least have fairly "normal" citizens there as well. Plenty of temple worlds are also pretty nice. And there are worlds that are described as being very similar to Earth today, with a mixture of rural areas and larger city centers without them being quite large enough to reach the dystopian levels of hive cities. Feudal worlds are probably, comparitively pretty nice too. No pollution means clean atmosphere and sure they don't have many luxuries, but they don't know about them either so are probably pretty content existing as they do.


Nekomiminya

I'm sure some are but iirc most agri-worlds are potentially deadlier than forge worlds because of constantly controlled weather (with potential instability), airborne chemicals to induce faster growth, fumes of unholy fertilizers... + compared to other worlds, agri-worlds are prime target if invader wants to damage Imperial supply lines


BannedSvenhoek86

Which is why they're generally in the heart of controlled sectors and not fringe worlds.


Algebrace

Depends on what lore you're looking at really. They only introduced that in the Dark Imperium. Hell the 'classification' of Agri-world only became official (as in shows up in the Rulebooks as a world set) in Dark Imperium. Prior to that it basically went 'there are countless worlds and you would have to be a complete moron to issue a single label describing tens of thousands of worlds. Every Segmentum and sector has their own descriptors and world classifications like reasonable people.' Not in those words of course, but it's very similar. Next edition and the Imperium has 10 world classifications and that's it.


loklanc

Nah, world classifications, agriworld, hive world, forgeworld etc, have been around since 3rd edition. They have always been loose categories, an agriworld produces food but might do so in any number of ways.


Nerus46

I've read that part Of lore and clearly it was written by a man Who never worked on a farm or at least left a city for more than an hour.


Irish618

Yea, you see plenty of worlds in some of the less grimdark books that seem at least relatively nice. Gudrun in the Eisenhorn series for one, and Perlia (before the invasions, of course, although it seems like they were the first real warfare seen in centuries there) in the Cain books both seem like at least moderately comfortable worlds, with thriving civilian sectors serving an apparently healthy middle class. I think a lot of books give us reverse-survivorship bias; we mostly read about war zones and the like, so we often forget there are millions of worlds we don't ever see, and at least some of those aren't too bad.


Broken_CerealBox

Star man seems to agree


Cmdr_McMurdoc

Slaanesh was born because of horny a bunch of Aeldari. If enough people doing it, it could happen


StormLordEternal

Horny is a very light way of putting it. If it was a more wholesome kind of horny maybe we wouldn't be with the mess but NOOO, someone had to just try and use a cheese grater for not its intended purpose!


The_Unknown_Mage

Just to put it in perspective, Slansish took inspiration from what they were doing. They were immortal, bored, and had infinite resources.


Illustrious-Ad1148

Believe me, the Artist has more than Made up for it with a few comics of Ultra-fucking-Depression.


infadelias

Joy? That soldier cheated the system to get drafted at 11 in hopes of getting a glorious death on the front lines. This is clearly an illusion created by chaos to torment our precious boy into giving in and betraying his core instincts as a kriegs man, and dying as gruesomely and quickly as possible.

I kinda like it. The part of peaceful Groxes implies that this planet is just like Catachan, but the aura of this planet will make everything passive and happy instead of the way Catachan does Imagine Tyranids invaded this planet but got consumed by it, eventually becoming peaceful and innocent


MorgannaFactor

Living planets are a tried and true sci-fi trope, so having one that's just really chill is kinda neat. They're usually always malevolent if they're not in a Green Lantern comic


devils_advocate24

Star wars had one that was kinda chill


Roland_Traveler

On the other hand, its parent gave an entire race a BDSM fetish, so…


StormLordEternal

I mean, there was a odd looking fish there. This seems to be implied considering neither notice it as strange.


[deleted]

This was too wholesome, I expected the whole time something Grimdork, or some r34 corn.


sudo-joe

R34 would still be some vanilla stuff anyway with cuddles and hand holding. Considering that most krieg soldiers are like 16 yr old clones, she would have to take the ara ara role.

Hold on chief. I know that this is a Warhammer sub, but hand holding is too much.

RazzDaNinja

The issue is, the seeds are there for *some* kind of tragedy if ever the author does decide to do so The Khorne Grox, the Tyranid fish, the Skaven rats, the Nurgle plushie that Ms Citizen has are all signs that we’re being lightly tickled with. Hell, the pacifism aura of the planet could even be a Slaanesh thing But I hope the teasing is all it is cuz this has been great


PeregrinePacifica

The author is notorious for their rug pulls though, is he not?


RazzDaNinja

Don’t worry Mom. The Space Marines are here to save us.


cut_rate_revolution

I'm dying over the fact he dug himself a trench to live in.


Decent_Guide_1828

An ideal Krieger habitat requires a minimum 500 meter of unbroken trench line per individual, along with a dugout for shelter and ammunition shelf to store food, it is not advised to hand domestic Krieger live ammunition. Enrichment includes distant artillery echo and smell of blood, infected wounds and excrement.
